## Why get-threads is rated Low

This tool retrieves email thread data without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing actions. It has no side effects beyond querying existing information. Severity is low because email thread retrieval poses minimal risk even if misused by an AI agent—no data is altered, deleted, or exposed beyond what the authenticated user can already access.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'get-threads' and description 'Get email threads' indicate data retrieval with no modification. The verb 'Get' and lack of any modification language confirm this is a read operation."

## Use case

AI agents call get-threads to retrieve information from Meme MCP Server without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Allowed**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Meme MCP Server:

```json
{
  "version": "1",

  }
}
```
